Procurement Sciences Alternative

CLEATUS — the agentic AI alternative to Procurement Sciences™

The all-in-one GovCon platform without the enterprise price tag. If you are evaluating Procurement Sciences, see how CLEATUS compares on what actually matters — true agentic AI that calls tools and executes multi-step work, automated daily capture, pre-shredded contract breakdowns, AI workflows, proposal writing, and transparent published pricing.

At a glance

A side-by-side read on the dimensions buyers most often ask us about. Each row about Procurement Sciences traces back to a public source — see the disclosure below.

DimensionCLEATUSProcurement Sciences
Core positioningSelf-serve AI-first GovCon platform — daily AI contract matching, automatic contract breakdown, AI Proposal Writer, AI Workflows, and Claude + ChatGPT MCP in one product, with published pricing and a free trialSales-led AI-first GovCon platform branded "Awarded AI" covering proposals, capture, and business development, sold via demo and annual contract[1]

AI contract breakdown (pre-shredding)Every solicitation is automatically broken down into the Uniform Contract Format (UCF) before you open it — scope, pricing, deliverables, deadlines, and evaluation criteria surfaced in a standardized layout across federal, state, and localAI Review evaluates proposal drafts against compliance criteria *after* you write them; pre-shredding every inbound solicitation into a standardized format is not described in public marketing[2]

When each platform is the right choice

Two AI-first GovCon platforms. They optimize for different go-to-market and deployment constraints. Here is where each one shines — straight, not spun.

When Procurement Sciences is the right choice

  • You prefer a sales-led, custom annual contract model with a dedicated AI strategist embedded with your team.
  • You need FedRAMP® Moderate Authorization or CMMC Level 2 today to handle CUI on defense programs — CLEATUS FedRAMP is coming Q3 2026; if you cannot wait, Procurement Sciences holds it now.
  • You need an air-gapped or customer-managed Kubernetes deployment running inside your own cloud, rather than a multi-tenant SaaS.
  • You want a vendor-led formal certification program — onboarding courses, twice-daily webinars, and an exam — for proposal and BD staff who will live in the tool full-time.

When CLEATUS is the right choice

  • You want capture automated for you — CLEATUS scores every new opportunity against your capture profile every day and delivers high-fit matches with compliance analysis straight to your inbox.
  • You want every solicitation pre-shredded into the Uniform Contract Format before you open it, so bid/no-bid decisions take minutes instead of an afternoon spent reading a 200-page PDF.
  • You want to automate your GovCon operations end-to-end — multi-step AI automations that screen opportunities, prep go/no-go briefs, alert on amendments, deliver award leads, and route work to the right person on autopilot, as a force multiplier for your capture and BD team.
  • You want CLEATUS available as a tool inside Claude.ai and ChatGPT via first-party MCP connectors, so the AI assistant your team already uses can read contracts, draft documents, and update your pipeline.
  • You bid across federal (SAM.gov), 40,000+ SLED sources, DLA DIBBS, GSA eBuy, SeaPort NxG, Grants.gov (including SBIR/STTR), subcontract leads, and forecasts — all in one AI-aware pipeline.
  • You want native Slack and Zapier integrations (Microsoft 365, 5,000+ apps) without standing up a custom integration project.
  • You want flexibility on how to evaluate — published pricing, a 7-day free trial you can start without a sales call, and a demo on request if you want a guided walkthrough.

Feature by feature

Four places where the platforms diverge most. Each row shows what CLEATUS ships on the left and how Procurement Sciences addresses (or doesn't address) the same need on the right.

Daily AI contract matching from your capture profile

CLEATUS

CLEATUS daily AI contract recommendations matched to your capture profile

CLEATUS automates capture management. Every day, the AI scores every new opportunity across federal (SAM.gov), 40,000+ SLED sources, DLA DIBBS, GSA eBuy, SeaPort NxG, Grants.gov (SBIR/STTR included), subcontract leads, and forecasts against your capture profile — strengths, past work, NAICS, set-asides, geography — and delivers a ranked list of high-fit matches with a compliance read to your inbox. Your team starts each morning with the day's shortlist, not an empty SAM.gov tab.

Procurement Sciences™

Procurement Sciences ships Bid Search and Smart Matching inside the Awarded AI platform — Smart Matching "uses algorithms to learn from your past bids and predict opportunities tailored to your needs."[2]

AI contract breakdown — every contract pre-shredded

CLEATUS

CLEATUS standardized contract breakdown using the Uniform Contract Format

CLEATUS automatically breaks down every solicitation into the Uniform Contract Format (UCF) before you open it. Federal, state, and local RFPs all land in the same standardized layout — scope, pricing, deliverables, deadlines, evaluation criteria, FAR clauses — so bid/no-bid decisions take minutes. The shredding runs upstream of the proposal workflow, not after a draft is written.

Procurement Sciences™

Procurement Sciences's AI Review module evaluates proposal drafts against custom compliance criteria *after* you write them — a different surface. Public marketing does not describe automatic pre-shredding of every inbound solicitation into a standardized format ahead of bid/no-bid.[2]

Agentic AI — tool calls, reasoning, and live web research

CLEATUS

CLEATUS performing agentic web searches to find labor rates and generate pricing tables

CLEATUS is built on agentic AI — the kind that reasons, plans, and takes actions, not the kind that just writes text. The agent breaks your request into steps, then calls tools to execute them: semantic search across federal and SLED contracts, awards, contractors, agencies, people, and NAICS; grep and read across your Document Hub; autonomous web search for current wage determinations, market rates, and competitor history; file and spreadsheet generation; PWIN calculation against your past performance; and pipeline mutations. The same 33-tool agent is exposed inside Claude.ai and ChatGPT via the MCP connectors. Every answer cites sources and every mutation is logged.

Procurement Sciences™

Procurement Sciences markets Awarded AI as generative AI — AI Chat for asking questions, AI Draft for generating proposal text, AI Review for evaluating drafts. Public marketing describes text generation, not an agent that reasons, calls tools, researches the web, or executes multi-step tasks on its own.[2]

Automate your GovCon operations end-to-end

CLEATUS

CLEATUS Workflows event triggers including new recommendation, pipeline change, amendment, schedule, and manual run

CLEATUS Workflows is a force multiplier for capture and BD teams — custom AI-powered automations that handle multi-step GovCon processes on autopilot. Screen new matches against your win criteria, prep go/no-go briefs the moment an opportunity hits your pipeline, alert the team when an amendment posts, deliver awardee names the second your next customer wins a contract, and route every change to the right person — without anyone touching a button. Triggers fire on new recommendations, pipeline changes, pursuit-phase moves, amendments, schedules, or on-demand. Chain AI Agent and AI Extract steps with If/Else and Filter branches. Actions include Slack, email, webhooks, in-app notifications, add-to-pipeline, change-phase, and assign-member. Unlimited on Essential.

CLEATUS

CLEATUS publishes first-party MCP (Model Context Protocol) connectors for Claude.ai and ChatGPT. Once connected, your AI assistant can search opportunities, read solicitations, draft proposal sections, look up contracting officers, and update your pipeline using natural language — without leaving Claude or ChatGPT. Included on Essential.

CLEATUS vs Procurement Sciences FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Both platforms are AI-first GovCon products, so the differences are about delivery and surface area. CLEATUS automates capture for you — every day the AI matches new opportunities to your capture profile and pre-shreds every solicitation into the Uniform Contract Format so bid/no-bid takes minutes. It publishes pricing, ships a 7-day free trial, exposes itself as a tool inside Claude.ai and ChatGPT via MCP, and includes event-driven AI Workflows with native Slack and Zapier actions. Procurement Sciences (the Awarded AI platform) is sold via demo and annual contract, focuses on its Awarded AI Draft and Review modules with a vendor-led certification program, and offers single-tenant Azure Government / GCC High deployments for CUI and CMMC Level 2 workloads today. CLEATUS FedRAMP is coming Q3 2026.
